Maria in the Morning

This morning Maria woke John up around 7:00 (only slightly earlier than usual). It took her awhile to really wake up though. She just sat on the couch like a little angel for quite awhile with a blanket wrapped around her and Rupert in one hand, her bottle of milk in the other.


We bought plane tickets home today. We found a flight from Vienna to New York City on May 18th for a grand total of 599,- euro. What with commencement on May 17 and Maria's second birthday on May 19 (when she goes from infant to child status, a difference of 200,- euro) we were determined to fly on the 18th. Our flight leaves Vienna at 9:50 Sunday May 18 and arrives in New York at 16:00 the same day. From there Vincent (hopefully!) will meet us in our car and we'll all drive home in time to celebrate Maria's birthday the next day.

Answer,
St. Rupert (d. 718) was the first bishop of Salzburg.
